"...makes the pace more authentic" typo?

I think I'd pick the missile base for my day out.

 

[The Great JT]

Those terrorists aren't all that bad. Their plan is to kill all stupid NPCs with dumbass motives.

 

[Abedeus]

And there's the 20-meter high monster Grond to brighten up your day. Once in a while, he will jump at the rollercoaster and smash everything to bits.

Just like in the good old Wild Wild West.

 

[Kollega]

One word. Hi-la-ri-ous.

 

[McMarbles]

Y'know, just as I was getting tired of CO comics... this one came along.

I will not think about playing this game till I can join them.
Or it's free.

 

[wolfy098]

didn't like that one
maybe because i found it beyond unrealistic

 

[Trivun]

You know, there's a degree of irony there in that the 'theme park' owner will probably turn out to be a better supervillain than all the others in that terrorist missile base, even if he maintains his current levels of disorganisation...

Still, good work, keep it up Shamus

 

[TheFacelessOne]

A little to much words, but still awesome.

 

[DragonWright]

Do the Terrorists give Missile rides?

Cuz that'd totally cinch it.

 

[DeadlyYellow]

From the look of things, I half thought the park catered exclusively to the terrorists.

 

[oppp7]

That kind of thing happens in games all the time. Amusement parks in games normally have like 3 rides and are in the middle of nowhere.

So much for no Monty Python references Shamus.....then again it was their anniversary recently

Besides, everyone knows clowns are evil

 

[Doug]

That guy really needs to look at his business model, I think...

He-he, yeah. Glad I'm not the only one to notice

 

[WaderiAAA]

Nice one.

 

[MadeinHell]

Hahah... this place always amused me when I played the beta ^^. Hilarious comic ^^.

Shamus has no cheese and has just been wasting your time.

 

[Fearzone]

LOL... so true... so true...

But don't you get a kick whenever they fire up the Spaghetti western music? Now THAT never gets old...

A little to much words, but still awesome.

My brother just made me aware of Action Park [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Action_Park].

Action Park was a true rite of passage for any New Jerseyan of my generation. When I get to talking about it with other Jerseyans, we share stories as if we are veterans who served in combat together. I suspect that many of us may have come closest to death on some of those rides up in Vernon Valley. I consider it a true shame that future generations will never know the terror of proving their grit at New Jersey's most dangerous amusement park.

Suddenly armed robot cowboys do not seem so farfetched.
